Monday: Back on Track

An effort to get back on track.
Previous posts were tidbits from the trail that I used from 1975 to now to acquire the unexpected information I found recently in the Popol Vuh, that of an astronomical event in the VII century AD. All the official records are skewed in favor of either 


           ""Mythic"" or 


          ""NO Way could the Maya have created, in such an awesome detail, all the 
           components of a star event. They were great primitive astronomers, but they 
           could never compete with modern astronomy."" 


Really?????!!!!!


Of course, it is sheer nonsense to think that all men in the Americas were  so primitive that they could never have understood anything we know today as astronomy. 


The first thing I learned was that von Daniken's book (and the later 1973-4 film), Chariot of the Gods, was misplaced information with no common sense used to put the pieces together.  It favored aliens from outer space, so we believed this and persisted to became the first to walk on the moon and boy,  we were the greatest in Space. We sent up over 90 shuttles so far and thought we really were getting somewhere. . . . except that the Universe was much more expansive than originally believed.


My next step was a  research project that produced a 140 page document which attempted to tie together all those "similar" tales in various parts of the world. What surprised me, even at that raw stage of research, was that there had been a huge migration toward the west, from the Isla de las Cedras that began on the west coast of the Americas after the disastrous star event. People wanted to get out the land that betrayed their faith in the permanence and stability of the mountains.  However, many survivors decided to remain and reconstructed their lives as well as they could.  (To be continued)
